It's amazing how much money some folks have. You've gotta be rich or you have to really want something... I didn't even think the C=116 was that rare, but I guess it is.

The auction was held in US dollars. I found the auction on Ebay's US site, and thought that maybe this was a prototype NTSC machine. Once I saw the location of the seller, I knew that to NOT be the case.
But, the two people that bid like crazy on it, may have thought that it was NTSC......

the c116 is kind of cool. I think you can switch from PAL to NTSC with a POKE command (don't have at the moment). Is this true for the 116 as it is for the plus/4?

You can do this on all 264 series computers. They all use the TED, and the registers and their meaning are the same. It's TED register 7 (address: $FF07 / 65287 ) that controls PAL/NTSC. When bit 6 (value $40 / 64 ) is cleared, you have PAL. If it's set, you have NTSC.
In BASIC, you'd write:
POKE 65287, PEEK ( 65287 ) AND 191 : REM PAL
POKE 65287, PEEK ( 65287 ) OR 64 : REM NTSC
In assembler, you'd write:
LDA $FF07 / AND #$BF / STA $FF07 ; PAL
LDA $FF07 / ORA #$40 / STA $FF07 ; NTSC
